17 Svasti Mantraaha

“…Hindu worship is truly democratic in spirit. One can choose the form of the Lord suitable to one’s own disposition from among the forms presented by the Vedic sages. One of the most important and popular of these forms is Ganapati.
The Lord is called Siva, the auspicious, since for the devotee, the Lord alone is auspicious and sacred. The creative faculty, or the infinite power of the Lord is Sakti, also called Parvati in the Puranas. Ganapati is the offspring of Siva and Sakti, a combination of the attribute-less Brahman and the power that is the origin of the universe. Thus, Ganapati is the saguna (with attributes) Brahman.
Etymologically, Ganapati means the Lord of the groups. In this creation, all living beings exist and thrive in groups, each of these groups being a gana. This psychology of living in groups equally applies to the gods, the humans and other life forms. All these groups exist in one Supreme Reality, the Brahman. That is why It is called Ganapati – the Supreme Lord of the ganas.”
From the book Ganapati Upanisad by Shree Svami Tattvavidananda Sarasvati

Shree Gurubhyo NamaH HariH Om
To my teacher

These are 10 sacred Vedic Peace Mantras also known as ShAnti PAthAH. 

Each Upanishad has a ShAnti PAthaH which is recited at the beginning of our studies of the Upanishad. 

They invoke the right attitude of the student to be in harmony with Ishvara, guru & shAstra. 
May there be harmony between the teacher and the student. 
May we listen with Pramana Buddhi, the understanding & trust that Veda is a means of knowledge to know myself as whole and complete here and now. 
Each mantras has a beautiful meaning, of which you can find more information on www.vaidika.org. 

You can also listen to those mantras as a meditation and to invoke the guidance, blessing to find a teacher, to find harmony in life with myself, the world & god.

Ten Sacred Vedic Peace Mantras

5_Ten Sacred Vedic Peace Mantras

My dear friend Mino Vergnaghi from Italy who is an astounding sound healer and I have come together on a sunny day in Bali where we both live since many years, sharing our love for mantras and sound. 

Our reverence for the Vedic culture, sacred mantras, sound and music has sparked this collaboration. 

Today I felt like sharing it so that you can enjoy it and receive Durga Devi's blessing. She gives strength, helps us to find courage and persistence to stay with difficult times. 

It was our first recording in Mino's friend music studio. Thank you to both of you for embellishing with your instruments this sacred chant. 

Gratitude to my revered teacher for passing on his passion for Vedic chanting. It has blessed my heart so profoundly, may it bless yours as well. 

Dear Mino, beloved friend to many, your caring loving sincere presence is a gift to all of us. 
Love and prayers always
Sharada

Invocation of Durga Devi

Gurustotram rendered by Swami Vagishananda Saraswati and Sharada Devi
In offering to their teacher Swami Dayananda Saraswati. 
Guru Stotram has 14 verses that praise the greatness of the guru who imparts self knowledge; Vedanta.

Vedanta is the end portion of the Vedas that teaches Brahma Vidya, the knowledge of the limitless being, which is, according to the Upanishads, the Self.

Vedanta reveals that the nature of I is free from any limitation, it is one, non-dual being. The general understanding of the I is ‘I am limited’ time-wise, space-wise and knowledge-wise. It is because of this conclusion that I am struggling to become happy. This is what is referred to as ‘Samsara’.

In order to get out of that endless cycle of birth and death, I need to know my essential nature as free from death, free from change, free from any limitation whatsoever.

Vedanta says,
You are the whole, you are full and complete as you are.
You are everything you want to be already.
You are the gold in and through all the ornaments.
All you need is to know, to remove the darkness of ignorance, to know yourself as such.

That is Freedom, that is Moksha. That is what ultimately every being is searching for in life, freedom from pain and suffering, freedom from the sense of smallness and inadequacy.

We all want to be happy, at all times and in all places.

We cannot find that in the world, the world is changing, that is the wonder of this creation, of this life.

Therefore I have to look somewhere else. Somewhere I have not yet thought of so far, somewhere closer than the closest.

Myself. That is Vedanta.

Swami Vagishananda Saraswati is a rare and special teacher, totally dedicated to understanding reality and the vedic/yogic teachings since the age of 19 (over 40 years!). Not only does he understand with full clarity the vision of vedanta – the answer to the question “Who am I” and “what brings total happiness and freedom from suffering to a human being?”, he also knows how to convey this truth to his students. He is a master of Vedic chanting and a sanskrit scholar.

He’s been through five 3,5 year courses with his teacher Śri Pujya Swāmi Dayānanda Saraswati. Swamiji teaches with incredible passion and humour, bringing the Vedic teachings alive and into our hearts in a very unique and beautiful way. From Swamiji we get the connection to tradition, as it has been passed down from teacher to student for thousands of years, and a richer sense of what yoga is really about. Satsangs with Swamiji are a rare treat indeed, combining Vedanta with emotional growth and psychology to help us navigate the mind towards objectivity and clarity.

Sharada Devi's spiritual journey started 16 years ago with the love for Yoga, Ayurveda followed by an Indian Classical Dance called Odissi. 10 years ago she finally met her revered teacher, Swami Vagishananda. Since then she has been a devoted student who has wholeheartedly embraced the Vedantic teachings & Sacred disciplines like Vedic Chanting, Sanskrit & Puja. Her devotion shines through in all her offerings. She has the blessing to study as well with Pujya Swamiji and his seniro disciple Shree Radhaji, Vedantin & Jungian Psychology Therapist. Her teachers have blessed her to pass on the Vedic Vision. Today she co teaches at Yoga Teacher Trainings and holds yearly Vedanta Retreats. Her love for the sacred feminine has birthed a beautiful initiative called the Be Woman Project. Its vision is to reestablish the bond between women and help them rediscover the value of being a woman and having a sisterhood.
